e LaserTouchOne™(OTC) (referred to further as simply
LTO) is a rechargeable hand-held pain therapy device. It
has a single diode laser for delivery of low level laser therapy,
referred to by some as a ‘cold laser’ or LLLT. e single laser
source is extremely low power (< 1mW) and in the Class IIa
regulatory classication for laser lights. It operates at the 670
nm wavelength. e second therapy delivered by the device is
a micro-current electrical stimulation, similar to devices that
are referred to as transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulators
(TENS), but at a much lower level. e device contains a
rechargeable lithium ion battery.
e combined therapies are activated with an on/o power
button, which when pressed is set for a 2-minute cycle.
Depending on the severity of pain, you can treat a single area
with 4 to 5 treatment cycles (8 to 10 minutes), up to 5 times
each day. e electrical stimulation and the laser light therapies
are activated at the same time by pushing the on/o switch.
e pulse width (e.g. intensity) of the electrical stimulation is
variable and is controlled by you, the user. is is described in
the Treatment Steps on pages 6 and 7. It is recommended that
the intensity of the electrical stimulation be kept very low, so
that you barely feel it. e combination of low level laser and
micro-current electrical stimulation will facilitate pain relief.
is combination of therapies has been shown to be eective
at very low levels of stimulation, so setting the electrical
stimulation dial to a higher intensity is not necessary.
It is important that the cause of your pain be identied before
you start treating it with any device, including the LTO.

Device Features and Controls
e following photograph shows the LTO device and the
electroconductive gel used for treatment. e steps for using
the device follow on page 6. If this is your rst use, be sure the
device is fully charged prior to use.
Safety
Laser Safety – Caution: Do not stare into the visible
light. Laser light is emitted from this device. Avoid extreme
exposure. Do not point the device at anyone’s eyes.

Holding the Device
Generally, the LTO device is best held
as you would a pen, with the index
nger on top to operate the power (on/
o) button. is allows the middle
nger (right hand) or thumb (left hand)
to manipulate the electrical stimulation
(e-stim) wheel (or dial) to control the
pulse width (intensity). However, you
may nd it is more comfortable to hold in another position.
Charging the Unit
e device will need to be fully charged for at least 5 hours prior
to the rst use. Plug the AC recharging power cord into the unit
and then into the wall socket. e unit will not operate unless
the battery is charged. When the device is not in
use, do not store the device plugged into the charger
unless it needs to be charged. Do not use the device
while it is plugged in. Recharge the device at least
once every 3 weeks for 5 hours if you are using it
daily. Charge the device once every two months if
you are only using it occasionally. Do not let the
LTO completely lose its battery charge.
is is the charging unit which is supplied with
your device. Do not attempt to use another power
recharger – it may fail to recharge or can damage
your device.
